Ernst Heinrich Toelken

Ernst Heinrich Toelken (June 24, 1795, Bremen – January 26, 1878) was a German philosopher, Art historian and archaeologist.

Toelken continued his education privately, studying French, English and Italian under several teachers.

Toelken, also a member of Herbart's secret society: Translation: "The man of a singular, of which we can never sufficiently praise of friendship done me many kindnesses, and is able to."

He and Osiander were rare among the private instructors of their time because they were able to undertake foreign travel and a grand tour.

He did, however, judge their classical style with great admiration, and commented that the impressions were "indeed the most beautiful you can expect to see in art".
